We establish their basic properties and find their representation through the power sums E_k=\\sum_{j=1}^m x_j^k. We observe a visual similarity between normalized polynomials P_n(x_1,...,x_m)/\\chi_m, where \\chi_m=\\prod_{j=1}^m x_j, and a polynomial part of a partition function W(s,{d_1,...,d_m}), which gives a number of partitions of s\\ge 0 into m positive integers d_j, and put forward a conjecture about their relationship.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-07T12:26:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20M14", "11P81" ], "keywords": [ "symmetric polynomials", "numerical semigroups", "basic properties", "power sums", "visual similarity" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
